Chapter 316 The Three Purities gather together and great changes are coming
"Oh? A gift?"
Leader Tongtian smiled and said: "I don't want it if it's not the merit of heaven."
"Of course it is the merit of heaven. This is the only merit my disciple can give you."
Amidst the sound of rushing water, Li Ping'an walked to the side of the Tongtian Sect leader and sat down.
Looking from this direction, outside the thin formation light wall are the thousands of miles of blue waves of the East China Sea, as well as the rows of houses in Dong'an City far and near.
Leader Tongtian sighed comfortably, put a towel on his forehead, closed his eyes and murmured:
"The human city is really nice.
"This world is much more prosperous and colorful than in ancient times.
"This is probably the world that Father God wants to see."
Li Ping'an didn't answer. He sat quietly and looked at the sea in the distance. There were many plans in his heart, but he had to implement these plans step by step.
After a while, Li Pingan said:
"Uncle Master, the Jie Jiao Immortal Heavenly Court can only save a part of the people. I have told you this before. I am mentioning it again because this is the bottom line of the Heavenly Court.
"The human race and heaven would be very grateful to have the help of Immortal Jie Jiao."
"Oh, I didn't ask you to save them all. You can open an opening and use the merits of heaven to mediate, which is already a great benefit."
Leader Tongtian smiled and said:
"Everything must be governed by a principle. Many of my named disciples have accumulated a lot of karma in ancient times.
“In the past, no one cared about this.
"But now, the rules between heaven and earth have changed. The way of heaven has overtaken the strong ones, and then the protagonists of heaven and earth have changed from the strong to the weak.
"Mortals have just come into being... By the way, Ping An, there seems to be some trouble over there in Nanzhou."
Obviously, Master Tongtian did not want to talk about which disciples to save and which disciples not to save. The subtext was to let these disciples work according to their own abilities.
As a master, he has already built a bridge to see who can cross it.
Li Ping'an also understood what Master Tongtian meant, and he felt confident.
"What's the trouble?" Li Ping'an asked with some confusion.
Lord Tongtian said seriously:
"Recently, I have been studying the way of heaven and found that the foundation of the way of heaven rests on the prayers of living beings.
"Originally, the way of heaven should be just one kind, a strange impulse that seems to adhere to the obsession of God the Father, which is the impulse of heaven and earth, the great road to protect this world.
"But because the prayers of living beings resonated with the two, the way of heaven is what it is today.
"It's like..."
The leader of Tongtian Cult scattered a bunch of stars, and said slowly: "These starlights are what I sensed, where the power of the living beings in the heaven and earth gathers."
Li Ping'an looked carefully and saw that the starlight in the middle section of the East Continent and the center of the South Continent was very dense. The starlight in the West Continent was weaker but evenly distributed in the southern, middle and northern sections. Only the connecting area between the southern section and the middle section was a desert with less starlight.
Beizhou is not completely silent, but there are only a few fireflies.
Generally speaking, this is the distribution of the power of creatures in the world.
Leader Tongtian casually drew a line of sword energy to isolate Nanzhou.
He said: "This is the situation over in Nanzhou. Yesterday I went to see the Juetian Formation. The divine court over there... is weird. There are a group of gods inside, and they also enshrine the statues of the four emperors of the human race.
There are also the children of the Four Emperors, but they don’t look like real children, but the products of incense and god-making.”
Li Ping'an was surprised and said: "Uncle Master, have you entered the Juetian Formation?"
Leader Tongtian raised his eyebrows at him: "Don't tell the Holy Mother, this is not a glorious thing after all."
Li Ping'an asked: "The Nanzhou Divine Court also controls part of the way of heaven. Most of the gods there are 'historical figures' who developed into gods according to the humanities of Nanzhou. This disciple knows this. What is the trouble you are talking about?"
"The Divine Court of Nanzhou seems to be high in the sky, but it is actually embedded in the entire Nanzhou."
Leader Tongtian murmured:
"I actually want to sell you a favor when I go in, and chop off that divine palace with one sword. One of them is enough.
"But as soon as I had the intention to kill, I realized something... It is easy to destroy this divine court, but if the divine court is eliminated directly, a world-ending disaster will occur in Nanzhou. The mountains and rivers will collapse, floods will rage, and thunderstorms will swallow up everything.
"This Juetian Formation protects mortals, but the mortals inside have changed a bit. I am the first person to see someone kill a fellow human being in sacrifice to the gods, and the gods accept it calmly.
"It is this kind of strange human sacrifice that creates a strange connection between mortals, heaven and earth, and heaven in Nanzhou.
"Then I thought, what would it be like to open the Juetian Formation? Guess what."
Li Ping'an blinked: "What's wrong?"
"Open the Juetian Formation directly, which means that the inner and outer heavens will clash. The God King and a group of incense gods in the divine court will launch a siege on you. You will win or lose within the heavens."
Leader Tongtian raised his hand and patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder, and said seriously:
"So my uncle left a sword intent in the sky above the divine court. This sword intent was enough to kill the god king.
"How to solve this problem……
"Uncle Master believes in your wisdom."
Li Ping'an's face suddenly turned dark.
The problems in the Nanzhou Divine Court had been warned by Houtu before, but he did not expect that the problem would be so serious.
The north and south heavens are in conflict, will he face the mature ‘Shenting’?
I currently only have a shadow in the Heavenly Dao sequence. If this happens... I'd better establish the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible, and also remind the Holy Mother that the Juetian Formation must not be activated for the time being.
At least he has to wait until his heavenly throne is filled up before directly destroying that divine throne.
The battle of heaven!
If we look at the amount of heavenly power, Southern Continent is no match for Eastern Continent plus Western Continent, plus the surrounding three thousand worlds.
Li Ping'an has a new motivation to run Tianwai's... small power.
Tongtian asked: "What kind of gift do you mean?"
"This is it," Li Ping'an opened his left hand, and the two lotus seeds flickered softly.
Leader Tongtian smiled and said: "Aren't these the two lotus seeds of the twelve-grade golden lotus that Duobao found?"
"I'm going to throw them into the pool of merit in heaven."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"Let's see if we can cultivate innate merit and spiritual treasures.
"According to my previous prediction, in the hands of Western cultists, this lotus seed can only be promoted to the tenth level by virtue of incense.
"It seems that there is not much difference between the tenth grade and the twelfth grade. However, the twelfth grade is perfect and the tenth grade is only excellent. But if I use the merits of heaven to cultivate it, it is very likely to cultivate the eleventh grade golden lotus.
"The eleventh-grade golden lotus of merit is definitely not as magical as the twelve-grade golden lotus, but it should also have some of the power of the twelve-grade golden lotus.
"Such a thing will definitely take a long time to happen, but I think it should be done before the Dao Immortal Tribulation falls.
"So I want to ask my uncle to choose one... Heaven also needs a golden lotus of merit to suppress luck. I am also afraid that two can only cultivate one, so I asked my uncle to choose one in advance and put them into the merits together.
They are kept in the pond.”
"oh?"
Leader Tongtian smiled and said: "Raising a golden lotus requires countless merits. Isn't your gift too big? But I can't even kill you now. Your master won't let you join the likes of Yin."
Li Ping'an said sternly: "This is just some feedback from my disciples. It would be great if both of them could become eleventh-grade golden lotuses of merit. You can use these golden lotuses to protect the luck of the core disciples of Jie Jiao."
The Tongtian Cult Master pondered for a few times, and then played a ray of Taoist rhyme, which was wrapped around the smaller lotus seed.
Li Ping'an cupped his hands, then closed his eyes and concentrated, revealing a golden cloud in front of him, with a large hall standing on top of the golden cloud.
Lingtai projection.
Later, the lotus seeds in Li Ping'an's hands were put into the spiritual platform, held by his soul, passed through the golden clouds, entered the front of the Lingxiao Palace, and placed the lotus seeds one on the left and one on the right into the two merit pools.
The two lotus seeds instantly became plump, and the 'water level' of the Merit Treasure Pond dropped significantly.
Two lotus leaves appeared on the left and right merit pools, but it would still be some time before the lotus flower appeared.
Leader Tongtian praised: "The power of heaven is truly miraculous."
Li Ping'an dispersed the projection, opened his eyes and said with a smile: "It should be much worse than the Nanzhou Divine Court."
"No, no, the Divine Court is different from your Heavenly Court."
Lord Tongtian said:
"Everywhere there is weird, the gods don't look like gods, the people don't look like humans, the gods all look like puppets of heaven.
"If you were to face the Southern Continent Divine Court now, you really don't have much chance of winning in terms of the control of Heavenly Dao, so you still have to encourage yourself."
"Yes," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "I will go to Tianwai immediately."
"If you encounter an enemy that the turtle spirit cannot defeat, let her poke her palm at any time," the Tongtian leader joked, "Before Golden Lotus is born, I can't let you have any shortcomings, hahaha!"
Li Pingan smiled happily.
At this moment, a wisp of black and white aura quietly floated into the formation here.
Leader Tongtian suddenly sat upright, his body soaked in the pool, but he had a brown robe, and his long hair was instantly tied up with a ceremonial crown.
He didn't care how weird it was for a young Taoist priest wearing bright Taoist robes to sit in the pool. He cleared his throat and said slowly in a magnetic tone:
"Peace, your great uncle is looking for you."
Li Pingan blinked.
Is the third brother so afraid of the eldest brother? - Most of the time, the three Qings refer to each other as senior brothers, but in reality they are the three brothers transformed by Pangu Yuan Shen.
Li Ping'an did not practice the magic of changing clothes, so he could only stand up obediently and salute to the shadow of the Tai Chi figure in front of him.
"Disciple pays homage to our great uncle."
"Well," a soft call came from the Tai Chi diagram, "Ping An has been doing very well recently. Junior brother, come to my place."
"Eh?"
Leader Tongtian was stunned for a moment and wanted to speak, but the shadow of the Tai Chi Diagram had dissipated.
"No, I didn't do anything wrong, ah?
"Why did Senior Brother call me over? Is it because I interfered too deeply in the war between the human race and the hundreds of races? But if it was because of this, he would have warned me before I wanted to take action.
"Second senior brother is going to file a lawsuit against me? It doesn't make sense. If second senior brother wants to scold me, why should we ask senior brother to come forward?
"What did I do that was not clean?"
Leader Tongtian frowned in thought, his figure gradually weakened.
Li Pingan felt that if his feeling was not wrong...
The leader of Jiejiao was nervous.
He smiled freely, waited for the figure of Lord Tongtian to flicker and disappeared, bowed to the sky, then lay back in the pool, letting himself relax physically and mentally, and slowly floated up.
"It's so comfortable to take a bath alone... Guys, let's get some iced fruit juice!"
"Okay! A glass of iced fruit juice in the private room upstairs!"
…
Above the nine heavens, within the thatched cottage.
The two boys were sitting on their knees in the courtyard, and the green cow was sitting in the corner obediently.
There were three futons placed in the main room, and three of the top powerhouses in the world sat on the futons.
The old man in the middle is neither sad nor happy nor surprised, has no movement, no stillness, no cause and effect, is pure and natural with true meaning, and has a kind heart that remains unchanged in all directions.
The middle-aged Taoist on the left is holding a jade Ruyi, with a wind and cloud ring around his waist, and a majestic face that can interpret all dharma.
The young Taoist on the right...
'It's bad, this looks like the boss and the second child are fighting against the third child.'
'What did I do? I didn't force the disciples to be saved, I just built a bridge for them to get close to the new Emperor.'
'What you've done... Why don't you sell Ping An later? You'll beg me to take action when you say Ping An has runny noses and tears... Can they believe this? I don't believe it either...'
"look."
Taiqing Laozi slowly raised his finger and pointed tremblingly in front of him.
The shadow of the Tai Chi diagram slowly unfolded, revealing... Li Ping'an's figure.
Yuanshi Tianzun asked curiously: "Senior brother called us here, could it be that we are discussing together how to decide the affairs of heaven?"
"No," Taiqing Laozi said, "Look."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, glanced at Tongtian Cult Leader, his eyes were full of displeasure, and he frowned and said: "Elder brother, let you see."
"Okay, ahem, good."
Leader Tongtian turned around and stared at Li Pingan's situation in the picture.
Half day scene with a flick of the finger.
In the picture, Li Ping'an was saying goodbye to his family because he was going to heaven. He had a meal and chatted with his father and his father's two Taoist monks, and discussed many matters with his father about the Heavenly Emperor Academy.
The father and son occasionally use some dialects in their hometown, but Tongtian Cult Master and Yuanshi Tianzun have no idea what they mean, and Taiqing will not help them translate such trivial matters.
Soon, the father and son told each other to take care of each other, and Li Ping'an disappeared quietly and returned to his mansion.
The four guards stood quietly in the courtyard, the two masters Huanglong Zhenren and Turtle Spirit Holy Mother were ready;
Fairy Ziyao, Golden Fairy Qingsu, and Luo Xuejing of Tianfang Pavilion have also been waiting for a long time. Mu Ningning and Wen Ling'er have already packed up.
Li Ping'an said: "I'll go burn the incense again, and then I'll have to rely on my father to burn the incense."
All the immortals smiled and watched Li Pingan go underground.
In the small courtyard above Jiutian, the perspective of the scene seen by Sanqing moved with Li Ping'an.
Seeing Li Ping'an respectfully adding incense to the portrait of Sanqing, Yuanshi Tianzun smiled a little, stroked his beard and nodded.
"This kid just knows the rules."
Then, Li Ping'an offered incense to the Four Emperors, and the Tongtian Cult Leader smiled and said:
"Safety knows loyalty."
Then, Li Ping'an applied incense to Yun Zhongzi alone and murmured:
"Teacher, don't blame me. The disciples are coming and going in a hurry. They have to rush to the outside world before going to Yuxu Palace to pay their respects. It's good that the teacher doesn't show up. It's quite uncomfortable for the disciples to be stuck here, let alone the teacher.
"This disciple is going to heaven now. I hope to gather the power of heaven as soon as possible and don't let the emperor fight alone again."
After saying this, Li Ping'an bowed his head again and saluted.
Taiqing Laozi said slowly: "Look carefully."
In the picture, Li Ping'an walked to the corner, removed the blindfold he had previously arranged, and revealed the wooden sign inside and the portrait on it.
Li Ping'an sighed, lit incense, offered incense, and muttered:
"Senior, don't mind, my father just respects you from the bottom of his heart."
After saying this, he lit incense, offered incense, bowed his head, turned around and left.
Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Master frowned, so much so that when they saw the immortals all over the courtyard turning into streams of light and using the method of transformation to turn into various objects and hang them on Li Ping'an, their expressions showed no change.
"Senior brother," Yuanshi Tianzun whispered, "should this portrait be destroyed?"
I shook my head slightly.
Leader Tongtian asked curiously: "Didn't the teacher always say that he didn't want to be involved in karma? By not destroying the portrait, isn't it because he accepted the name of Li Dazhi's disciple? Isn't this karma?"
"I don't know," Lao Tzu said, "but I just felt something in my heart. The chance for you and me to become a saint is almost here."
Laozi said slowly: "The specifics cannot be fully calculated when it comes to the Sea of Chaos, but we know that the cause of this matter is at this moment, and the cause of this matter comes from peace. You and I can just act safely, and there is no need to do anything else."
Yuanshi Tianzun asked: "Brother, what is our chance of becoming a saint?"
"The Purple Qi of Hongmeng," Lao Tzu said, "was born before the creation of the world. When Hongmeng was about to transform and the way of heaven was brewing, there were nine ways in total, but they were all picked up by the teacher."
Leader Tongtian frowned and said, "Why did the teacher never mention it?"
"The Purple Qi of Hongmeng is the support of Heaven's Dao. To become a saint is to use oneself to complete Heaven's Dao. Today, Dao has flourished through mortals."
I shook my head slightly:
"Let's see, you and I don't have to interfere. This matter has both good and bad consequences."
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Leader were deep in thought.
The voice of Luo Xuejing, the golden immortal of the human race, came from the screen:
"Your Majesty, we have sorted out the things you asked us to sort out, and I have something to report to you.
"The Western Sect had previously mobilized Taoist soldiers to expose a small world that had been hidden by them. Only then did we learn that part of the world was actually covered up by them with large formations. It did not shine in the void and could not be traced at all.
"It was also during this troop deployment that it was revealed for a moment. We are stepping up our investigation and estimate that there are dozens of hidden small worlds where the Western Taoist soldiers are located.
"One of the small worlds we found contains nearly a million Taoist soldiers. Thirty percent of them were previously transferred away. There are also tens of millions of living beings. As you said, they support wild gods fabricated out of thin air."
Li Ping'an asked: "Which direction?"
"Down due south."
"Uncle Spiritual Master," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "Come and take me on the road as soon as possible. Before we go to develop the Kongmeng Realm, let's go around these small worlds and take away the incense merits accumulated by Western religions for many years!
"
Turtle Lingling revealed her figure, kneeling on a big turtle shell and patting the futon beside her.
Master Huang Long on the side muttered: "Didn't we agree to let Pindao go on his way?"
Li Ping'an said: "Uncle Master, I will invite fellow Taoist Shiji to visit Kongmeng Realm later."
"That's a good relationship," Huang Long's transformed thread rippled slightly, "Just say hello when you want to take action."
Li Pingan squinted and smiled:
"Let's go through the Three Thousand Worlds quickly, pick the fruits of Western teaching first, and then return to the Kongmeng Realm and follow the steps!"
